Level
Novice
Rides suitable for cyclists who are new to the sport (or who have not been on a bike for some years), family-friendly rides or any riders that feel a need for some mentoring. Note: please note that minors under the age of 16 cannot participate in rides unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. Families with children should, in any event, confirm with the ride leader ahead of time that the ride will be suitable for their needs.

Intermediate
Targeted towards riders who have a few years in the saddle, who have developed some riding confidence and fitness and feel ready to move to the next level. Could attract more experienced riders who are looking for a relaxed or less aggressive ride.

Advanced
Limited to experienced riders with superior bike handling skills and who are comfortable with a fast pace (probably including single and/or double pace-line riding) and/or hilly terrain, and the possibility of heavily trafficked roads. Advanced rides are less likely to be "no-drop" unless identified as such.

Description
Santa Barbara's cream of the crop show up for this weekly throwdown, dubbed "Sunday World Champs". Takes the coastal Gobernador loop through coastal SB, gentle rolling hills and a small climb near the turnaround point. The pace is notoriously aggressive, city limit signs are fought for, 1-deep pacelines are formed and breaks are chased down. Most well attended ride of the week with up to 70 riders. Meets in the East parking lot of the Cabrillo Bathhouse @ 9:15. Late comers chase, not a no-drop ride. Coffee afterwards at Handlebar Coffee in downtown SB.
